Re: Is It Possible To Calculate The End of The Earth's Existence!?

Some would claim that he acted like an old man early in life though, with all the wise words and so on. My guess is that he was linked to a quantum entangled black hole cluster, hence aging fast, yet becoming old. But then again, it's very long ago, would need more background research.

I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy...

Re: Is It Possible To Calculate The End of The Earth's Existence!?

Probably we could, with alot of time on our backs. Okay, let's make a try at that. Someone speed to the blue whale about the black hole, I'd want every computer to read that signal if it is possible, we have a catastrophe at hand, that I spotted it is mere coincidence...

GeniusIsBack mentioned the pandemonium that would accompany a known end of the world date. With the weapons that people have, the resulting bedlam could hasten the epoch. Then the world would end before that date. Hmm?

I know how to have an engine analyze a game. You are not using your program correctly. Arena, Fritz and Shredder all have switches to only show the main line. Please do not try to say that extra stuff is a feature that we need. We only need the main variation.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

I agree with you regarding the satisfaction and importance of actually computing some numbers. I can't tell you how often I see time and money wasted because someone didn't bother to run the numbers.

A little historical data:

First it was Crafty and Fritz and Shredder then it was Yace, Fritz and Shredder. then it was Ruffian, then it was Zappa and Fruit, Then it was Rybka and maybe now it is Houdini. Point is next year it will be some other engine. Also I have never lost to Houdini.

There are 5 or 6 computer world champions in that list. Their ratings are from 2350 - 2950! Point is that folder should be empty. Statistically there should not be a single game in there. Why are there dozens? Maybe I am better than I think, not likely. A human senior master rated only about 2290, lower than anyone on that list used me for target practice for an entire evening. We quit when it became apparent I was not going to score against him. The other possibility is that maybe they are not as good as you think.

If you or I played Garry a 1000 games we would not get a single draw. That would be difficult if not impossible for any chess engine I have seen.

Re: Is It Possible To Calculate The End of The Earth's Existence!?

You missed the point! Garry would beat you or I 1000 straight. No chess engine could beat anybody 1000 straight. That is why I have a folder of whuppings that I, a patzer, have put on them.

They have no understanding of psychology. They do not adjust their play against weaker opponents. They do not know even what an opponent is. They do not know how to compete. How could they? They do not know where they are at or what they are. They do not know the difference between a human and a muffin.

They have massive opening books built in. Many have millions of games in memory. They move pieces on the board when they analyze. They have huge endgame tablebases to show them how to play the endgame. This is not intelligence, this is an encyclopedia. They are no smarter than a dictionary.

GiB. You would lose your House/Flat Car/Bicycle Dog/Cat/Mouse... and Everything else you own! If ever you made that Bet against any of the Worlds Top Chess Engines as of 2011 and Many Engines Before!.

 They have no understanding of psychology 

GiB. From a Chess Computers Point of View!...it does not Need any Psychology when it can Calculate 100 % Accurate Check Mates in 30 + Moves! If it Needs to!

I Can Answer the Rest of your Quotes with My Quote below...

When you Test Chess Engines...You Don't use Opening Books..You Don't use Endgame Data Base..You Don't test them at One Time Interval,Etc.The reasons are that you want the Chess Engines only using it's Built in Algorithms for solving the Chess Positions as the Game progresses,i.e. no outside Help!This way we get the True Strength of the Fixed Engine.
